Common Questions
-
What products does JSDSolar provide?
-
JSDSolar supplies hybrid and off-grid inverters, LiFePO4 batteries, residential energy storage systems, commercial BESS, portable power stations, solar street lights, and complete solar power configurations. Product availability and specifications may vary by market and project requirements.
-
Can JSDSolar provide a complete solar energy solution?
-
Yes. A complete configuration may include solar panels, an inverter, battery storage, protection equipment, mounting accessories, and monitoring functions. The final system design depends on load requirements, installation conditions, local voltage standards, and expected backup duration.
-
Which applications are JSDSolar systems suitable for?
-
The product range supports residential power, commercial energy management, off-grid properties, telecom backup, outdoor lighting, emergency power, and industrial applications. Each project should be reviewed according to its power demand and operating environment.
-
Does JSDSolar support OEM and customized products?
-
OEM services may cover branding, enclosure design, packaging, voltage configuration, communication settings, and selected technical specifications. Customization feasibility depends on product type, certification requirements, order quantity, and development scope.
-
How can I request a quotation?
-
Provide the required product type, quantity, destination country, application, voltage standard, power demand, and expected delivery schedule. For complete systems, sharing electricity consumption or a load list will help the technical team prepare a more suitable proposal.
Product Selection
-
How do I choose the right solar inverter?
-
Inverter selection should consider system type, rated load, surge power, grid voltage, battery voltage, solar input range, phase requirements, and backup functions. Future load expansion should also be considered during the selection process.
-
How much battery capacity does my project need?
-
Battery capacity depends on daily electricity consumption, required backup hours, allowable depth of discharge, system losses, and available solar generation. Critical loads should be listed separately when backup power is a primary requirement.
-
What is the difference between on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid systems?
-
On-grid systems work with the utility grid and usually have no independent backup. Off-grid systems operate without grid power and depend on batteries. Hybrid systems coordinate solar generation, batteries, and the grid to provide more flexible energy management.
-
Why are LiFePO4 batteries used in solar storage systems?
-
LiFePO4 batteries offer long cycle life, stable voltage performance, good thermal characteristics, and lower routine maintenance than traditional lead-acid batteries. Their modular format also supports flexible capacity expansion in many storage applications.
-
Can battery capacity be expanded later?
-
Many JSDSolar battery models support parallel expansion. The added batteries should use compatible voltage, capacity, communication settings, and firmware. Expansion limits vary by model, and the inverter must also support the total battery capacity.
Installation & Compatibility
-
Are JSDSolar batteries compatible with other inverter brands?
-
Compatibility depends on battery voltage, charging parameters, communication protocol, and inverter software. CAN or RS485 communication may require an approved protocol. The inverter model should be confirmed before placing an order.
-
Can I connect different battery models in one system?
-
Mixing batteries with different capacities, cell types, ages, or voltage platforms is generally not recommended. Differences between batteries may cause uneven charging and discharging. Use matched models and follow the approved parallel connection requirements.
-
Can the solar system operate during a power outage?
-
A grid-connected system without battery backup normally shuts down during an outage for safety. A hybrid or off-grid system with batteries and backup output can continue supplying selected loads, provided the system has been configured correctly.
-
Where should solar batteries and inverters be installed?
-
Equipment should be installed in a dry, ventilated location away from direct sunlight, water exposure, excessive heat, corrosive substances, and combustible materials. Installation clearances and environmental limits in the product manual must be followed.
-
Who should install the solar energy system?
-
Installation should be completed by qualified electrical or solar professionals familiar with local wiring rules, protection devices, grounding, battery safety, and commissioning procedures. Local permits and grid connection requirements should also be checked.
Warranty & Technical Support
-
What information is required for technical support?
-
Provide the product model, serial number, installation date, system diagram, inverter and battery settings, alarm code, photos, and a clear description of the issue. Monitoring records or operating data can make remote diagnosis more accurate.
-
What does the product warranty cover?
-
Warranty terms depend on the product model and sales agreement. Coverage generally applies to confirmed manufacturing or material defects under specified operating conditions. Damage caused by incorrect installation, misuse, unauthorized modification, or unsuitable environments may not be covered.
-
Does JSDSolar provide remote technical support?
-
Yes. Remote assistance may include parameter checking, alarm analysis, communication troubleshooting, operating guidance, and installation review. Some issues may require an on-site inspection by a qualified local technician.
-
Are replacement parts available after installation?
-
Replacement parts may be supplied according to product model, fault assessment, warranty status, and stock availability. Providing clear product identification helps the service team confirm the correct component and avoid mismatched replacements.
-
How should solar equipment be maintained?
-
Keep ventilation areas clear, inspect cables and terminals, remove dust from equipment surfaces, check system alarms, and review operating data regularly. Solar panels should also be cleaned according to local dust, weather, and site conditions. Maintenance must follow the product manual and electrical safety procedures.
